I learned the value of zip ties when I went on jump status. Lost a complete canteen set, canteen cup and cover because the alice clips failed when I went out of the bird. It landed 3 feet from a soldeir on the ground and he recovered it and brought to the rally point and asked if anyone had lost it. He took me off to one side and told me about using zip ties. He was a SF trooper in 3rd SF group. Needless to say the next day all my gear got zip ties as a back up to the alice clips

Thank you for your service Sir. As a military “brat” who`s father was a Lt.Cmdr. With Sea Bees we spent many tours stationed at Charleston Naval Weapons Station in SC where we had great memories running the PT fields, shooting, and martial arts training with the Teams and Marines when we lived on base. We were always taught if your going to do it then do it right. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us And Thank you for your service. I remember most when I was 11 we were practicing “slash and cut” knife training with them and after two weeks were moving off base and went to say goodbye to them. They told us there was another thing the knife was used for so eager to learn we asked them to show us - then they gave us a hair cut -
I know I'm 2 years late but yeah I work as a security guard. Most of the time I don't carry a weapon but I have it in my car. No one in my company has ever covered setting up a duty belt. Most of the time people just hook stuff to their Sunday belt ad call it good. So you bet your ass I forced myself to watched you set up a belt. Best info I have gotten in weeks.
I found your channel a couple years back ever since I've took heed to what your saying I take it as a personal trainer from a Navy SEAL. I can honestly say you got me to high speed my discipline with the rifle and pistol is amazing skill level went from 1 to about a 9 in two years. Also Ronin has helped me out a lot also 💪 thanks brother ‼️
You know the old saying: "If you only have one, you have none." It's crucial to have fail-safes and backups for your gear to ensure it's available when you need it.
Thanks Jason, setting up my first set of gear so that I can get more proficient at the range. Starting to run my first drill sets. Hearing advice from a seasoned man is so helpful. Had not seen the zip-tie technique before.
Thanks Brother for taking the time to show and train us up in something that some would not even think about. It's the small stuff that makes the biggest difference when SHTF. GOD Bless!
Thank you for your service to our country! 🇺🇸💪 Good tips. My son and I compete in USPSA pistol matches and having your gear set up takes lots of tweaking and time. Having gear that will stay in position is a major component. Competitions get us acquainted with our gear in time sensitive scenarios, it's a great training method.
I learned a lot and appreciate the effort you put into making these vids. It's really nice to not be talked down to for wanting to be prepared. We all have different skills and I appreciate you passing on your experience. Thank you for everything.
Great video. 👍 Really like your explanation of how you install your gear onto your belt. Most importantly thank you for your service to our country. God bless you.
KISS. I like your set up and appreciate you taking time to show it. I use 2 methods of securing my gear to my belt which is similar to yours, but a G-Code belt. If I don’t have molle straps I use 1” velcro strap to secure the pouch to my belt. If the pouch has an attachment system or molle straps I back it up with zip ties. I’ve found that the 1” velcro I get from OC Tactical can take a whole lot of abuse and if you loop it through the PALS on the pouch and the belt it secures it extremely tight. I hate my kit moving or rattling. Thanks again Frogman.

You might want to consider including even a small pair of side cutters also called diagonal cutters to your kit. I take a good sized pair everywhere. They are particularly useful when cutting zip ties even though they are a tool targeted toward snipping wire.

When I put my battle belt together I set everything up to where my belt will connect together on my side may sound weird but if you haven't tried it you need to it's very comfortable that way takes a few days to get used to. but you don't have to put it right on your side you can put it to your 2:00 just not right in the center
I am very interested in the Rifle Catch. I have never seen one in use or even a video done on it. That would be most appreciated as i carry a 10'5" in a 2 point.
I have a Strike Industries Advanced Retention System (SARS) that I like a lot. They should have a video on TH-cam about it. You can put multiple base plates around your kit so you have different places to retain your rifle. The thing I like about it is you can literally lock the rifle so it doesn’t swing or jiggle at all. Check them out, I think they still make them. I’ve had mine for a couple years now.
Jason pike. Regular navy vet here have u tried the New Haley strategic mag pouch universal 556/308 and single mag pouch single stack 1911/ double stack mag pouch both with shock cord that can be removed found them to be the perfect pouchs to run. With out relying on those dam G code or HSGI mag pouchs or the plastic malice clips brakeing on you. So no need for all that extra work hope this helps thanks for all your info
The belts I have seen I wouldn't dare trust for rappelling. Too many are plastic which you pointed out. I wore one for years in my career as a firefighter while on duty. They were NFPA rated and the buckle and D-ring were solid metal. Later in my career we were issued NFPA rated Class 2 harnesses that were attached to our protective clothing. This was much more practical as if we needed to rappel or bail-out, we were most likely wearing our firefighting gear. I still have my harness attached to my gear with the local department I still run with since my retirement. As you mentioned OSHA, a belt with a D-ring is only considered a positioning device and not a harness. Harnesses (Class 3, Full Body) are required when fall protection is necessary. A belt is to keep you from falling, a harness is designed to catch and protect you if you do fall.
I never tried one of these, I only used a plain police belt for years when i worked for a armed alarm response company, and a cheap Uncle Mike's iwb holster appendix carry for executive protection and a simple molle holster for a handgun on my hip working convoys. I wouldn't know but thank you for educating me
a simple rig I made to be able to rappel was to take a daisy chain and run it behind my battle belt, secure it with a climbing carabineer and threaded through the loops of my pants and around the belt. i use the climbing carabineer as the point from where I hang my gloves chemlights and so on. if the time comes, i know i can rely on my daisy chain and carabineer to hold me
Water, first aid kit and ammo....all that you need to fight on a belt kit....Pens,markers, maps (small things) in shirt or trouser pockets....daysack carries more ammo, batteries, larger first aid kit, 24hr of rations, more water, socks (must have dry socks or your feet go to shit!) water proofs and maybe a very small sleeping bag. Bergan carries more water, ammo, clothing (depending on climate, you go through more clothes in a hot humid than a hot dry etc) food
Can’t thank you enough for this vid. I have been researching this set up since moving west where I can own guns again and even manufacturer’s vids were sorely lack in the details you provide (like at 1:05). Much appreciated.
Watched all of it. Appreciate the importance you emphasized to secure all the hardware. Haven't set one up yet so this will be very helpful when I do as it will be done right. Thank you.
watching you do this reminds me of Band of Brothers when they are getting their gear ready for the raid across the river and they are trying to reduce the noise of their gear. I've always wondered what they would have come up with if they had some of the modern nick-nacks to use.
Nice work. Your such a good communicator that you answer my potential questions before I need to ask. Thank you sir. I’m watching all your content and it’s been a pleasure to watch.
I was curious, could you make a video about how you setup a Plate Carrier or Tactical Vest? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Love the content you've been making!
One thing I’ve learned it when I take my kit out to test it, I’ve found that there are some things I don’t realize with light is usage, but after I’ve been running hard. That’s usually when stuff falls off or when my brain doesn’t want to grab what it needs to grab. Thanks again and mercy and grace are sweet to the soul Brother.

Haha, I never threw my mags down my shirt. What a great idea. But then again, my primary weapon was not my CAR-15/GAU-5 (yes, I'm old), it was my radio. Bringing in close air support was much more enjoyable and much more a crowd pleaser. I think we've all been there but the primary thing that went into my shirt was the hot brass from the guy next to me, lol.
Yeah I can see why you would want your gear nice and tight. You don’t want rattling noises and for your gear to shake so much it ends up breaking free or coming undone. Really Good information 🤙🤙
Great Vid. I serve in the 127th Suburban Recon. We have been engaged since 2018 in direct action countering Karen insurgents. We have recovered several small subdivision, many lives were lost.
Informative video and glad it popped up on my feed. No matter how long a person has been doing something, there is always room to learn something else new. Thank for sharing your knowledge and lessons learned from your real world experience. Definitely subscribing to your channel.
@@frogmantactical Sir, I just wanted to tell you that your words and demeanor identity you as being a Christian man. I can’t think of a better quality to have as a man today in this crazy world where what use to be right is now wrong and what was wrong is now right in the worlds eyes. Stay who you are, but most importantly stay true to God, that’s all a man needs to do and the rest will fall in place. I say this after spending the last 24 years of my life in law enforcement and having been part of tactical teams during my career. It wasn’t always easy being a Christian in a messed up society.
Thanks brother. I'm not an SF guys but have family that are. I'm just a simple retired USN SCPO and just want to be prepared in case SHTF. Much appreciate your videos and providing real S**t training for the rest of us.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that finds setting up a battle belt frustrating and really downright miserable in my experience. I was embarrassed to admit using needle-nose pliers, I even considered a hammer and crowbar at times lol....
Ordinarily I wouldn't sit and watch someone perform a menial task, as I have already performed most of them. Your task on the other hand was filled with insight and detail worthy of watching. The leatherman tool should include small side cutters, which have many uses.
Just a hint if you take your Needle nose pliers and twist the extra length of tie wraps they break off and don't leave sharp edges like when you cut them
Thank you. Check out Aeulos Defense. This is the newest belt I have and it has quit a few options which isn’t seen anywhere else. Tell them Frogman Tactical sent you. instagram.com/aeolus_defense?
I’ve thought the same, also for a long time...didn’t feel I could justify it honestly. Bad back since ‘07..REALLY hinders and any added weight on the lower torso is/ can be a deal-breaker. A LOT I do is trial & error..I almost NEED to know it’s gonna work (hope THAT made sense)
I have a sacrificial tactical belt that I use to cut pieces out to fit behind pouches. It acts as a spacer and creates more tension on the clips when the clip is too large for the belt.
Love my 5.11 battle belt. It’s like wearing a pillow. Took me a while to find horizontal mag pouch for my sidearm. They teaching all the new cadets to wear mags support side vertical, but I was trained to wear them gun side, horizontal right next to the buckle.
So that you can reach *across* your body and then further reach toward your right ass cheek to pull the mag out? I’m going to suck start my rifle if i keep reading these comments 🥺 all hope is gone
I live behind enemy lines-california 10 round capacity magazine. Because of that regardless if it body armor. Web- gear or chest rig I have at the minimum of two magazine pouches. Plus a fast draw single mag. Pluss other essentule pouches So I run a airforce padded battle belt with the eagle why suspenders to hold it all up. I was alone on my own property was abused by someone across the creek. First mag was almost gone with only 2 left. I had 3 rounds left in my last mag. I NEVER WANT TO FEEL LIKE SOMEONE COULD WALK OVER AND EXECUTE ME AGAIN ! Thank you for your knowledge 🙏
Definitely gonna do the zip tie secure method on my gear. I remember my first belt, cheap Amazon belt, bunch of molle and still had my gear flopping around. Used paracord to secure everything. Zip ties are a more streamlined method.
Tip I cut the zip ties with a pair if wire cutters then melt the tip This has a double duty To do away with the sharp edge and Helps ensure the zip tie DOES NOT BACK OFF I have had that happen
I like the the video it was straight to the point. I like the fine-tuning of your explanations and the variables that one needs to deal with while training to find what is best for an individual body and operation with fine-tuning with equipment as needed. Thanks for your expert
Great vid, thanks. Coming from the ALICE gen of Marines, this is helpful. I'm VERY familiar with paracord and duct tape, as well as the frustrations. Thank you.
@@frogmantactical awww man lol you got me good. I'm more a supporter of the man than the group now if that counts for anything.. Great vid tho.. I'm trying to learn safety really and having everything in order.. This was very informative.. 👍
@@frogmantactical Or, a bit more tedious, hit it with a small file after snipping. You've been doing it long enough to know what works for you! Be safe.
I still use my Old School Web gear to include 2 ( 3-30rd mags) , 1911 Mag Pouche, Old School 1911 leather holster, K-Bar, 2- Canteens, Butt Pack, USMC Jungle First Aid Kit. H- Harness, w/ Compus.
Absolutely love your videos. Subscribed on all, I believe? Anyway, Keep up the good info. Absolutely love your honesty. So many people now, will lie, just to promote something. You, my Brother...DO NOT LIE. Keep up the great work and God Bless you and yours.
I love how you have some extra space but don’t use it because you only have what you need! And I use zip ties, I’m a civilian but can’t stand any wiggle movement on my belt and vest. Thank you for making videos🙏🏼🇺🇸🙏🏼
That was outstanding and got me thinking on the utility of a battle belt beyond the range for CERTAIN civilians (retired military or LE who still maintain and or have solid tactical training as well as others with the right mind set, etc) in these times (open border with criminals and obvious terrorists entering, policies that embolden and increase lawlessness, etc.). I'll be adding a battle belt to my "go" bag, Thank you!
20 years British military and I never get tired of telling people zip ties on gear! Good drills mate, great presentation skills. God go with you 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Expect for your TQ I’ve seen that be a real problem for some dudes 😅
i prefer one wrap as zip ties tend do break when used it freezing temps
And *GOOD* zip ties, not the *_Chi-Com_* replicas to be found at _Harbor Freight!_
I have soft armor panels zip tied to the bungee style cumber bun of my SWAT rig. Also use them to tame the plugs and wires on my Mk18. They’re one of Gods greatest inventions

You can put multiple base plates around your kit so you have different places to retain your rifle. The thing I like about it is you can literally lock the rifle so it doesn’t swing or jiggle at all. Check them out, I think they still make them. I’ve had mine for a couple years now.

Lol. I went blank.

Jason pike. Regular navy vet here have u tried the New Haley strategic mag pouch universal 556/308 and single mag pouch single stack 1911/ double stack mag pouch both with shock cord that can be removed found them to be the perfect pouchs to run. With out relying on those dam G code or HSGI mag pouchs or the plastic malice clips brakeing on you. So no need for all that extra work hope this helps thanks for all your info
I have not. I’ll have to look into them. Thank you. I despise the Alice clips myself as well.
Have a great day and God bless.
The belts I have seen I wouldn't dare trust for rappelling. Too many are plastic which you pointed out. I wore one for years in my career as a firefighter while on duty. They were NFPA rated and the buckle and D-ring were solid metal. Later in my career we were issued NFPA rated Class 2 harnesses that were attached to our protective clothing. This was much more practical as if we needed to rappel or bail-out, we were most likely wearing our firefighting gear. I still have my harness attached to my gear with the local department I still run with since my retirement. As you mentioned OSHA, a belt with a D-ring is only considered a positioning device and not a harness. Harnesses (Class 3, Full Body) are required when fall protection is necessary. A belt is to keep you from falling, a harness is designed to catch and protect you if you do fall.
I never tried one of these, I only used a plain police belt for years when i worked for a armed alarm response company, and a cheap Uncle Mike's iwb holster appendix carry for executive protection and a simple molle holster for a handgun on my hip working convoys. I wouldn't know but thank you for educating me
These belts are a whole new realm. That’s not to say other belt styles aren’t operational.
Have a great night and God bless.
@@frogmantactical I need to try one of these in the future then. I still rock a chicom chest rig for my ak47.
@@vatolocooperations6111 Nothing wrong with that.
Nail clippers are great to safely cut ziptie ends and to "flush cut" them so they don't slice you up.
a simple rig I made to be able to rappel was to take a daisy chain and run it behind my battle belt, secure it with a climbing carabineer and threaded through the loops of my pants and around the belt.
i use the climbing carabineer as the point from where I hang my gloves chemlights and so on.
if the time comes, i know i can rely on my daisy chain and carabineer to hold me
Great video. Bob Ross of tactical gear .
Water, first aid kit and ammo....all that you need to fight on a belt kit....Pens,markers, maps (small things) in shirt or trouser pockets....daysack carries more ammo, batteries, larger first aid kit, 24hr of rations, more water, socks (must have dry socks or your feet go to shit!) water proofs and maybe a very small sleeping bag. Bergan carries more water, ammo, clothing (depending on climate, you go through more clothes in a hot humid than a hot dry etc) food
4 once someone whos aware of using your clothing pockets ,, welcome to the very smol club lol
You're like the Bob Ross of tactical. I can watch your vids all day!
When I was a young Partrooper I was told your Belt Kit was important and it can make the different between getting the job done and a world of hurt
Definitely a life line.
Have a great day and God bless.
@@frogmantactical I dont need a God Bless I prefer real life to some invisible Sky Daddy
Can’t thank you enough for this vid. I have been researching this set up since moving west where I can own guns again and even manufacturer’s vids were sorely lack in the details you provide (like at 1:05). Much appreciated.
I like the idea of using a stackable AR pouch....👍🏻
Friggin outstanding frogman!
Thank you,
Have a great night and God bless
Watched all of it. Appreciate the importance you emphasized to secure all the hardware. Haven't set one up yet so this will be very helpful when I do as it will be done right. Thank you.
You’re welcome. Thank you for watching.
watching you do this reminds me of Band of Brothers when they are getting their gear ready for the raid across the river and they are trying to reduce the noise of their gear. I've always wondered what they would have come up with if they had some of the modern nick-nacks to use.
Nice work. Your such a good communicator that you answer my potential questions before I need to ask. Thank you sir. I’m watching all your content and it’s been a pleasure to watch.
Thank you for the kind words.

This guys like the Bob Ross of Operators, the way he tells storys and gives lessons just flows like the great Bob Ross, thanks bro 🤘😬
Best content provider on TH-cam! Thanks for sharing, please keep it up!
Much appreciated. Humbling.
Be blessed.
I was curious, could you make a video about how you setup a Plate Carrier or Tactical Vest? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Love the content you've been making!
I am in the process of doing a video on that.
@@frogmantactical Awesome! Can't wait!
Brands too. Former LEO looking for a kit set up for civil defense group for these idiots if shtf in my town.
One thing I’ve learned it when I take my kit out to test it, I’ve found that there are some things I don’t realize with light is usage, but after I’ve been running hard. That’s usually when stuff falls off or when my brain doesn’t want to grab what it needs to grab. Thanks again and mercy and grace are sweet to the soul Brother.
@@rdbrooks6783 Will do. 🙏
Zip ties and 550 cord. Never lost anything. Good advice, thank you.
I remember the frog kick swimming video and its amazing how studying nature can help us survive.
Thank you for taking the time to put this together. Good stuff and much appreciated

Great video for first timers and old timers. Thank you
Haha, I never threw my mags down my shirt. What a great idea. But then again, my primary weapon was not my CAR-15/GAU-5 (yes, I'm old), it was my radio. Bringing in close air support was much more enjoyable and much more a crowd pleaser. I think we've all been there but the primary thing that went into my shirt was the hot brass from the guy next to me, lol.
Yeah I can see why you would want your gear nice and tight. You don’t want rattling noises and for your gear to shake so much it ends up breaking free or coming undone. Really Good information 🤙🤙
why the fuck am i watching this 11pm in my bed ye like ill tottally need this😂
The fact that you recommend osha means that you have a good idea of what’s going on. But with repelling, you should also have leg loops
Great Vid.
I serve in the 127th Suburban Recon. We have been engaged since 2018 in direct action countering Karen insurgents. We have recovered several small subdivision, many lives were lost.
Hooah!

@@frogmantactical
Sir, I just wanted to tell you that your words and demeanor identity you as being a Christian man. I can’t think of a better quality to have as a man today in this crazy world where what use to be right is now wrong and what was wrong is now right in the worlds eyes. Stay who you are, but most importantly stay true to God, that’s all a man needs to do and the rest will fall in place. I say this after spending the last 24 years of my life in law enforcement and having been part of tactical teams during my career. It wasn’t always easy being a Christian in a messed up society.

After your editing and the decent music it wasn't to painful thank you for your service and the information.
Thank you. It sucks I know. Very few people actually want to knowledge.

Thanks brother. I'm not an SF guys but have family that are. I'm just a simple retired USN SCPO and just want to be prepared in case SHTF. Much appreciate your videos and providing real S**t training for the rest of us.
Thank you for the words. I’m just a simple guy as well.
That’s all you can do is prepare.

Good tips.. They do make zip ties that have a metal "core". Not quite as easy to find a regular ones but theyre much less likely to break
Thank you so much I have a Battle belt but I'm a security guard and I'm looking for the best type of stuff that feel comfortable to me
I'm glad I'm not the only one that finds setting up a battle belt frustrating and really downright miserable in my experience. I was embarrassed to admit using needle-nose pliers, I even considered a hammer and crowbar at times lol....
Lol. I use whatever tool is needed.
🙏
Ordinarily I wouldn't sit and watch someone perform a menial task, as I have already performed most of them. Your task on the other hand was filled with insight and detail worthy of watching. The leatherman tool should include small side cutters, which have many uses.
Just a hint if you take your Needle nose pliers and twist the extra length of tie wraps they break off and don't leave sharp edges like when you cut them
100% true. I use to twist them but with a razor blade you can shave them even whereas a knife will leave the sharp edge you speak of.
Be blessed.
Teaching an old electrician new tricks
Very nice. I need to invest in a battle belt setup. I’ve been eye balling them for years. Very good video brother.
Thank you. Check out Aeulos Defense. This is the newest belt I have and it has quit a few options which isn’t seen anywhere else.
Tell them Frogman Tactical sent you.

@@frogmantactical
Will do brother I will definitely check them out! Thank you
I’ve thought the same, also for a long time...didn’t feel I could justify it honestly. Bad back since ‘07..REALLY hinders and any added weight on the lower torso is/ can be a deal-breaker. A LOT I do is trial & error..I almost NEED to know it’s gonna work (hope THAT made sense)
I have a sacrificial tactical belt that I use to cut pieces out to fit behind pouches. It acts as a spacer and creates more tension on the clips when the clip is too large for the belt.
It looks like my blue alpha gear belt . My favorite. I wear the inner belt everyday and the belt is solid . The outer belt is great .
Love my 5.11 battle belt. It’s like wearing a pillow. Took me a while to find horizontal mag pouch for my sidearm.
They teaching all the new cadets to wear mags support side vertical, but I was trained to wear them gun side, horizontal right next to the buckle.
So that you can reach *across* your body and then further reach toward your right ass cheek to pull the mag out?
I’m going to suck start my rifle if i keep reading these comments 🥺
all hope is gone
It’s a bit more natural as far as movement but you then have to come back a bit so it’s a toss up.
Be blessed.
@@frogmantactical I agree. But at the end of the day, whatever you’re most proficient and safe at.
Thanks brother
I live behind enemy lines-california 10 round capacity magazine.
Because of that regardless if it body armor. Web- gear or chest rig I have at the minimum of two magazine pouches. Plus a fast draw single mag.
Pluss other essentule pouches
So I run a airforce padded battle belt with the eagle why suspenders to hold it all up.
I was alone on my own property was abused by someone across the creek.
First mag was almost gone with only 2 left. I had 3 rounds left in my last mag.
I NEVER WANT TO FEEL LIKE SOMEONE COULD WALK OVER AND EXECUTE ME AGAIN !
Thank you for your knowledge 🙏
Definitely gonna do the zip tie secure method on my gear. I remember my first belt, cheap Amazon belt, bunch of molle and still had my gear flopping around. Used paracord to secure everything. Zip ties are a more streamlined method.
It’s a sound proof method.

I watched till the end. Good stuff, thank you. Patience, Mercy & Grace. 🇺🇸👍
Tip
I cut the zip ties with a pair if wire cutters then melt the tip
This has a double duty
To do away with the sharp edge and
Helps ensure the zip tie DOES NOT BACK OFF
I have had that happen
I like your style dude.
I like the the video it was straight to the point. I like the fine-tuning of your explanations and the variables that one needs to deal with while training to find what is best for an individual body and operation with fine-tuning with equipment as needed.
Thanks for your expert
Kore Essentials B1......EXCELLENT battle belt. Excellent system.
Great vid, thanks. Coming from the ALICE gen of Marines, this is helpful. I'm VERY familiar with paracord and duct tape, as well as the frustrations. Thank you.

This is like watching the Bob Ross of death. Lol. I couldn't turn it off.

@@frogmantactical awww man lol you got me good. I'm more a supporter of the man than the group now if that counts for anything.. Great vid tho.. I'm trying to learn safety really and having everything in order.. This was very informative.. 👍
🙏 God bless and be safe.
@@frogmantactical you too Frogman much respect.💪
I like to use small side cutters to snip the ends of the zip ties off. I am unlucky with using razor knifes in tight areas!
I’ve found I can’t get to the base of the head of the zip tie which leaves a sharp edge. Maybe use a smaller set perhaps.
Be blessed.
@@frogmantactical
Or, a bit more tedious, hit it with a small file after snipping. You've been doing it long enough to know what works for you! Be safe.
I still use my Old School Web gear to include 2 ( 3-30rd mags) , 1911 Mag Pouche, Old School 1911 leather holster, K-Bar, 2- Canteens, Butt Pack, USMC Jungle First Aid Kit. H- Harness, w/ Compus.

I never thought about zip tying my gear but now i think i might. Thanks for the information.
I love how you have some extra space but don’t use it because you only have what you need! And I use zip ties, I’m a civilian but can’t stand any wiggle movement on my belt and vest. Thank you for making videos🙏🏼🇺🇸🙏🏼
No need to increase the weight.
🙏
That was outstanding and got me thinking on the utility of a battle belt beyond the range for CERTAIN civilians (retired military or LE who still maintain and or have solid tactical training as well as others with the right mind set, etc) in these times (open border with criminals and obvious terrorists entering, policies that embolden and increase lawlessness, etc.). I'll be adding a battle belt to my "go" bag, Thank you!
